Unarmed Guy shot and killed while turning in cat to a humane society.

The man was white and a sovereign citizen this time.
On December 30, 2014, Robert tried to turn over a stray cat to an animal shelter located in a small Alabama town. For some unknown reason, before the shelter would take in the stray cat, he was required to produce an acceptable piece of identification to shelter employees.
Robert was a self-described ‘sovereign citizen,’ a believer in common law but not the laws of the federal government. He did not have a driver’s license nor did he have any other governmental identification. But that is of no import as he was simply trying to bring a stray cat into an animal shelter.
Robert had a prior criminal record. Again, this was of no import as he was simply trying to bring a stray cat into an animal shelter.
Robert was unarmed and yet, he was shot to death by armed police called to the animal shelter after he was unable to produce any identification. He apparently became upset when the shelter employees would not accept his ‘sovereign citizen’ paperwork as identification. There is nothing to indicate that Robert caused any disturbance, became violent or had threatened any of the shelter employees. His ‘crime’ was bringing in a stray cat to an animal shelter without the ‘proper’ identification. This act caused the shelter employees to call the police who dispatched two officers of the Dothan Police Department to the shelter.
